Telescope

The James Webb Space Telescope reveals that planets may spiral into their stars, rather than being swallowed by expanding red giants. This changes our understanding of planetary destruction.

The project aims to investigate the 'Cosmic Dark Ages,' the period from the Big Bang until the formation of the first stars.

The planet's tilted magnetic field causes auroras far from its rotation poles.

NASA said the telescope is expected to collect data on more than 450 million galaxies and more than 100 million stars in the Milky Way by surveying the entire sky in 102 infrared wavelengths.

Light from JADES-GS-z14-0 has taken 13.4 billion years to reach Earth, revealing a chemically mature galaxy when the universe was less than 300 million years old.

The KM3NeT telescope comprises two detectors, ARCA and ORCA, utilizing seawater to capture Cherenkov light—a bluish glow produced when neutrinos interact with water molecules.

Gravitational lensing occurs when the gravity of a massive object, like a galaxy, warps the fabric of spacetime, bending the light from a more distant background object.

A light echo is created when a star explodes or erupts, flashing light into surrounding clumps of dust and causing them to shine in an ever-expanding pattern.

Using IRAS and NuSTAR telescopes, scientists identify hundreds of obscured black holes hidden behind gas and dust.

The images let scientists resolve the structure of the clouds of dust and gas from which stars and planets form at a high level of detail in galaxies considered galactic satellites of the Milky Way.

While the rings won't be visible to the naked eye any small backyard telescope should show the rings, which will appear as bright oval-shaped disks.
